How To Be A True Aussie

There are lots of ideas which come to mind when acting as a true Aussie. Aussies are known for their sociable attributes, barbequing skills and use of language. So here’s how you can brush up on your skills.

The Sociable Aussie

It is well thought of that Aussies like a drink. This case was proven in the recent story about the two Aussie blokes, James and Kane, who had been surfing and drinking all day, and generally getting up to drunken shenanigans. When, whilst stood in a parking lot of a gas station, they spotted two thugs trying to rob the station, so James took the keys out of the ignition of the robbers’ car whilst they were inside. When the robbers came out they were confronted by a drunken James, who still had the car keys, so they decided to make a run for it, followed by James. Whilst being interviewed by the Australian Today Show, the presenters found the story highly hilarious, as James and Kane retold their drunken story.

It is also thought of as Aussies love to have a little gamble. So if you are thinking about having a go at online poker, then why not try learning these? Lucky Nugget Casino offers video poker, which is a five card poker game, in a digitalised format. Once your cards are dealt you have a choice to hold between one and five cards, and when the second round of cards are dealt you are then rewarded a prize based on the value of your cards. The value of the prize is determined on the declining chance of you have certain cards, so more difficult the hand, the higher the prize.

Never Too Late To Learn

Barbequing is a typical Aussie pastime, with lots of information out there teaching you how to barbeque (just in case you’ve forgotten.) There are classes and books, giving you ideas as to what to serve, and helping you inject some fun and originality into your food. Barbequing has come a long way from traditional burgers and sausages, with lots of information on cooking seafood, such as sardines, scallops, and oysters, and adding twists to your meat, like a crust of Japanese crumbs to you lamb racks, hot smoked salmon with juniper berries and a sprinkle of gin, and duck breasts brined and smoked over hickory.

Finally, to make sure that you’re a true Aussie you need to learn the lingo. Aussie slang has almost become a language of its own, with some terms having roots in both British and Australian English, developing into its own interesting type of language. So start practicing your “crikey,” “dunnie,” and “hooroo” vocabulary, and you’ll be saying “let’s have a barbie this arvo” in no time.
